William Vivanco (born October 6, 1975, in Santiago de Cuba) is a Cuban composer and musician.[1] Vivanco learned to play guitar by visiting Casa de la Trova on Calle Heredia in Santiago de Cuba. He busked in the streets and performed with a professional children's choir.
Vivanco first came to Havana when he was 23 years old. He made his first solo album, Lo Tengo To' Pensa'o, a mix of Brazilian music, pop, and reggae, under the Bis Music label in 2002. His most well-known song is "Cimarrón" (meaning "one who lives on mountaintops"). The song refers to African slaves who ran away from their Spanish masters.
In 2006, Vivanco recorded his second solo album, La Isla Milagrosa, produced by Descemer Bueno and Roberto Carcassés. As of recent, Vivanco's music style has emulated the traditional music of Santiago de Cuba as opposed to pop and funk styles.
Vivanco has performed at the Les Transmusicales de Rennes Festival (2003), Paleo Festival de Nyon (2004) and Les Nuits du Sud festival in Vence, France (2005) as well as the night of Les Nuits de Fourvière in Cuba.
